Indians are not natural conservatives. If you compare them as a group on 45 GSS issues, they sit left of the US average on 32. At least 1 SD to the left on 22.
I’m not comparing them to conservatives just to all Americans!

Then stop insulting them?
Most Indians, and indeed most ethnic minorities, are natural conservatives. Most will support immigration control, most will support tax cuts, most have strong family values, most are devoutly religious and most will respect the country they live in.

It appears that the browner people vote for communism, and the threshold is less than two-thirds European ancestry.

One of the greatest “wet roads cause rain” arguments I’ve ever seen. This study, which cites additional studies, notes that children who are suspended from school at an early age have worse behavior as they grow up. Their conclusion: suspension from school causes bad behavior to get worse.

The reason nice neighborhoods are nice is because they're full of nice people.
Using longitudinal data, we can see that they don't make people nice: moving into good or bad neighborhoods doesn't affect the risk of criminal offending.
But bad people tend to live in bad places.

It’s kind of amazing that states like Oregon, Washington, Vermont, Colorado & California had white fertility rates around or higher than Mississippi in 1990, a totally alien world.
Gives an idea of how different America was in 1990 compared to today.

Only one the 19 states with the smallest decreases (or increases with Mississippi and SD) is a D state, New Jersey. And that is because of ultra-orthodox jews, 95% of whom vote Trump.

A MIT Professor found that a 1% increase in the population from immigration increases rent by 1%—a 1-to-1 ratio.
His research was published in the Journal of Urban Economics—the premier journal of its field.
It is clear: Immigration makes housing more expensive in our cities.

It's kind of wild how much American social beliefs have changed in such a short period of time.
Consider an extreme example:
In the mid-1990s, only about half of Americans approved of interracial marriage.
Which races are most free market?
Whites average +0.20 relative to the US average, versus −0.70 for Blacks.
This is based on four GSS questions toward cutting gov spending, reducing business regulation, gov job provisions, and price controls.

After George Floyd died, Whites became less biased towards their own racial in-group—that is, Whites.
Did other groups do the same?
No, they actually became more biased towards their own in-group: Blacks liked Blacks more, Asians liked Asians more. Hispanics? Didn't move.
